Pictures showing a Shanghai Sperm Bank that allegedly "gives men a hand" with sperm donations did the rounds last year, and now they seem to be
circulating again. The deal is supposedly that if you agree to get a health check and abstain from sex and masturbation, then you can donate your sperm 4-5 times a month. You get paid RMB200 per session. The sperm bank is located in Ren ji Hospital, No 145 Shan Dong Zhong Lu, Building 1, 7th FL, near Fu Zhou Lu, Shanghai, China. Click

here for the pics, which are potentially NSFW.
The Shanghai Sperm Bank is real, but its nurses don't actually help with the sperm donation process. The Sperm Bank
issued a press release last year insisting that "These pictures are completely misleading. We never have female nurses assisting in sperm collection, which is done by the donor himself, alone in a special room." (
Thanks, Asmo!)

And frankly, such a clinical procedure as that in the picture wouldn't inspire me to donate 😊 Then again, sperm donors *are* hard to come by ( No pun intended) as in the joke from RICK AND STEVE - "They'll leave gallons of it in every bathroom in Sa Francisco, but when someone wants it for it's real purpose, it's liquid gold!" 😊 Good thing it'll be obsolete soon ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1198132/Ethical-storm-flares-British-scientists-create-artificial-sperm-human-stem-cells.html though it appears there is some doubt on this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/5949676/Artificial-sperm-research-included-plagiarised-paragraphs.html )
*cancels ticket*
200 yuan would be, maybe, slightly more than a meal for one in a fancy restaurant. Shanghai is a bit more expensive, though, so it probably wouldn't even get you that.
